Overview
Description

The game challenges you to use the maze’s corners and ambush points strategically, with a safe bunker at the center that offers temporary protection. As you progress, more advanced robot enemies appear, testing your reflexes and tactical movement in a retro arcade experience reminiscent of Berzerk.

In Tutankham you play as a daring explorer raiding the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh. The arcade‑style action combines maze navigation, platforming and shoot‑'em‑up combat as you dodge asps, bats, dragons and ancient curses. Each level is timed, filled with locked doors, keys and optional treasure, and gives you a single flash‑bomb to clear the screen. Warp zones teleport you around the map, adding strategic depth while enemies stay behind.
